Sweden’s littlest Prince was born on June 15, just days after Princess Madeleine’s brother Prince Carl Philip wed Sofia Hellqvist.

He joins one-year-old big sister Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland, the eldest child of Princess Madeleine and her husband Christopher O’Neill.

As you might expect, the Prince’s name has a very special meaning. According to People, Nicolas is a name used in the Bernadotte dynasty (the same family Sweden’s reigning royals are descended from). His middle name Paul is a nod to his father and grandfather, and Gustaf is also a tribute to King Carl XVI Gustaf, the baby’s grandfather and the King of Sweden.
